In response to Gannett's Jounal News headquartered in White Plains, New
York publishing an interactive map containing the names and addresses
of all pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland Counties
(previous related posts are here and here), blogger Robert Cox at NewRochelleTalk.com (HT Instapundit) has produced an interactive map at a post entitled "Where are the Journal News employees in your neighborhood?"

It contains names, addresses, and various forms of Internet presence. Some of his narrative follows the jump:

The map indicates the addresses of all Journal News Employees in the
New York Tri-State area. Each dot represents an individual Journal News
employee -- a reporter, editor or staffer. The data does not include
freelancers — reporters or photographers — which can be hired without
being an employee. Being included in this map does not mean the
individual at a specific location is a responsible reporter or editor,
just that they are a reporter or editor.

Data for all categories is included, but certain information is not available on an individual basis.
To create the map, Talk of the Sound submitted Google searches for the
names and addresses of all Journal News employees in the New York
Tri-State area. By state law, the information is public record.

To the inevitable objection that Cox has gone over the top, I would
suggest that the Journal News obviously started this nonsense -- and if
they didn't anticipate that blowback such as this might happen, they
should have.

Sorry, Journal News, but you can't just walk all over the privacy
rights of thousands of individuals and families and endanger everyone in
your reading area in a blatant attempt to, by your own admission,
capitalize on a school shooting tragedy -- gun owners who might see
their weapons stolen and non-owners who can now be considered "soft
targets" -- while automatically assuming that there will be no
consequences.
